The headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party popularly
called Wadata was thrown into confusion on Friday over alleged threats to
bomb the secretariat by undisclosed group.
Top party officials were scampering
to leave the secretariat while some directors hurriedly discharged their staff
for the weekend. The move to get out of the secretariat saw many driving their
cars out just as middle and junior level officials were seen in small
circles discussing the matter.
Some principal officials who
reportedly left the secretariat on the basis of the security reports included
the national auditor, the departmental directors, among others.
Checks by anxious journalists
revealed that a report was relayed to the party secretariat Thursday night
disclosing a verified report of a credible threat to attack the secretariat
starting from Friday.
A director of the party was said to
have received the report and relayed it to the neccesary quarters within the
leadership. This was later leaked to the general staff who took the news in
hysteric reactions.
The party chairman, Alhaji Bamanga
Tukur and new National Secretary of the party, Prof Adewale Oladipo, were not
in the office
A top security official of the party
confirmed the development, disclosing that “ the threat is real and we are all
aware of the situation.”
